Kid's At First Families
There’s no way to adequately say how much I’ve missed you. Among the things the last six months have taught us, we’ve learned we need the community of the Body of Christ. That said, we want to regather in the very safest way for you and your family. On Sunday, October 4, at 11:15am, in-person Bible Study for kids will resume with social distancing and increased health protocol. To learn more about these policies and procedures, click here (Kids At First Procedures AND COVID-19 Response). During the first three weeks, we ask that families preregister for Bible Study. You can register here.
Lastly, know that following Bible Study restart, we will determine when other programs resume. For the most current information about our ministry, visit the Kids At First Ministry Facebook page (Kids At First Facebook). A weekly Bible Study video and family discussion prompts are available on the Kids at First YouTube channel (Kids At First Youtube).
It is a JOY to serve the Lord with families like yours! I’m so excited to see you in person soon!

Kids At First
Kids At First seeks to echo the truth of the Gospel parents teach at home. Our audacious goal is to partner with parents in a way that enables kids to become mature Christ followers who make an impact in God’s kingdom.
Deuteronomy 6 clearly outlines how the family of faith works with families to help kids to know, love and serve Jesus. The Kids At First Ministry seeks to give parents simple tools to help their child develop spiritually. Parenting classes, Faith At Home printed and digital resources, monthly FX (Family Experiences) equip parents to spiritually lead their child.
Sunday morning Bible Study is the most important hour of our ministry. In the context of relationship with our amazing leadership team, kids build a foundation of faith using Bible-based, age appropriate curriculum. Additionally our ministry offers three weekly discipleship programs--WIRED252, EPIC, and Bible Drill. Vacation Bible School, Mini Camp and Kids At First Camp are offered each summer. Finally, we help kids and families mark and celebrate spiritual milestones like Getting Ready for Big Church, First Grade Bible Presentation, New Christians Classes, Kids At First Worship, and 5th Grade Retreat.
Ministry Support
